Hello my beauties! Today I’ve compiled a list from A to Z of every and all products that you would need to complete a full face makeup routine. These items were put together through trial an error testing out the best drugstore makeup. I wanted to have a complete list of affordable makeup that would create a very complimentary look for all ages, skin types and could be worn daily. Of course feel free to add or skip a step depending on you routine and what you feel comfortable wearing 🙂 let me know how you like this blog post and if you’d like more! I’m thinking of doing the same for high end and I could do a product list of the makeup fails I tried that didn’t make the cut! Thanks for stopping in again and I hope you enjoy! Don’t forget to check out the continued list of products in Part Two listed on my blog http://www.mommaoftwoshowsyou.wordpress.com

(As always a complete list of products are linked below)

For primer I chose the L’Oreal magic lumi, this product it’s great for all skin types, it evens out the texture of your skin giving it a natural glow, but NOT making you a complete grease ball in the process. I’d compare it to the Mac strobe cream and it’s about half the cost!

Foundation…I’ve got to give it to L’Oreal again their True Match foundation is amazing, I see myself grabbing it over all my high-end foundations daily. The coverage is great (medium to full) and build-able. They have a huge range of color selection, targeting not only you skin shade but the undertones as well. With this product you’ll be getting a satin to semi matte finish.

For Concealer this one was a bit tricky I wanted a creamy formula with good coverage, a nice color selection and that wouldn’t crease. The winner in this battle has got to be the Maybelline Fit Me concealer I personally use the shade “sand” which is a good dupe for Nars creamy concealer in “custard”.

Powder, this one I wanted it to be very universal so I went with the Elf studio HD loose setting powder in translucent. Choosing a translucent powder will give you the setting power without changing the color of your foundation or come off looking too cakey. This one is also a great dupe for the Makeup forever HD setting powder, and with a price point of around 4 bucks you can go wrong!

Bronzer, now this one was easy I’ve been obsessed with the NYC “sunny” bronzer for years, again around 3 bucks or so it’s a great neutral matte shade that can go with several different skin tones. This is great for an all over glow or can be used for a more precise contour.
